McCarthy Tétrault stands out for the broad scope of its international trade offering. Alongside its strength in traditional trade areas, including trade remedies, trade policy and WTO dispute settlement, it is also recognized as a go-to team for economic sanctions and export controls. Additionally, the Toronto-based group is increasingly handling supply chain issues, including supply chain investigations initiated through the Office of the Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Sourcing (CORE). Litigator John Boscariol leads the international trade and investment law area and his focus spans the full range of compliance, enforcement and dispute resolution-related matters. Martha Harrison sits in the international trade and the retail and consumer markets teams and her recent activity encompasses customs law, economic sanctions, trade remedies and foreign investment, among other work. The department also draws on Robert Glasgow, who is particularly noted for customs law, and associate Ljiljana Stanic, whose litigation practice takes in procurement and international trade cases.
